I was at the Montreal Botanical Gardens for a plant show yesterday, and I took a few pics, no photos of the vendors, but some stuff from around the gardens.

Flowaahhhs!

Japanese gardens:

BONSAI!!!

More pics to come, of the indoor collections and the insectarium.

Sorry about how dark some of the pics are, it was overcast...

@Heli, everything was nice, and that ventricosa was incredible!

Great photos! I can't wait to go this year. I hope they will still be selling pauline by the time I go...

 

[Peatmoss]

He had two, and the odds of him selling the other are low, he did not really have them out on display, way in the back. (I got it from Pascal, not the Botanical Gardens) I bet if you PM him, he will sell one to you.

Thanks everybody else!

@Myles, she certainly is an attractive little one, even though she is really a guy...

Very nice!! I love the Bonsai trees! Thanks for sharing.

 

[Peatmoss]

Thanks Fred! I think Montreal has the national collection of bonsai, the oldest is about 205 years.

Thats an oil fern Dr. Larry Mellichamp talks about it in his book Bizarre Botanicals

 

[Peatmoss]

I think I read that... I recalled seeing that plant somewhere.
